Summit Prayer

Prayer comes First. And Second. And Third.

40 Days of Prayer

Sep. 1 - Oct. 11

We’ve been instructed to ask. We’ve been invited to seek. And we are encouraged to knock.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7 NIV).

You’ve heard it before: “[You] have not, because [you] ask not” (James 4:2b KJV). What a tragedy if we miss what God wants to give and do, simply because we fail to ask.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. (Romans 12:1–5 NIV)

Romans 12:1–5 NIV

Where would we be without the grace of God? Our need for God’s grace and his kindness toward us should lead us to humility and kindness toward others.

  • Ask God to fill you with awe and wonder for his grace to you in Christ Jesus.
  • Ask him to root out all pride in you and cultivate a humble heart of love in you.
  • Pray that our unity, our humble acceptance of each other, would serve as a witness to those who see how we love each other.
